Multi-Channel Selling
Do you sell items via catalogues or a web site? Do you want to see a step increase in sales? Then we can help you.
The solution is to sell on retail sites which already have the infrastructure built for you ( shopping carts, searchable inventories ) and which
already have a brand name with far more pull than a small company could ever achieve. Sites such as Amazon, eBay and ABE books.
The problem is that these sites require data in their own unique format, so most retailers advertise on one site and stick with it, organising
their data in the way required for that one site.
But the data required by the sites is similar; it just needs to be manipulated in the right way. This is where Ardis Systems comes in. We have twenty years experience of
manipulating data between different operating systems, computer platforms, and latterly different retail sites ( Amazon, eBay and ABE).
Convert your data to list on eBay, Amazon, ABE or Ebid
We can take data from one format and convert it into another. So if you have listing data in any format, we can convert it into a format for direct loading in bulk onto eBay, Amazon, ABE or Ebid using our custom built Multi Channel Selling Spreadsheet. Just send us your file and we will quote for creating a spreadsheet to convert it into your chosen format. Once you have your spreadsheet, you can use it again and again to transform new item data.
Here are our
Amazon storefront, our ABE storefront, our
eBay shop and an uploaded
ebid listing. All our listings on these sites were created using the same source item details with our automated method. We can set up an unlimited number of similar listings for you.
Case Study
Four years ago we set up Ardis Books, selling secondhand books and magazines via our own website. Business was steady but not spectacular. We built an online searchable database enabling browsers to search for books by title, author or subject. We built our pages so that they could be found by Google and other major search engines.
Even so it was hard to drive buyers to our site when we were in competition with many similar sites, so we tried multi-channel selling.
We now sell on four different sites and convert data to all four formats in a few minutes each day. We sell 25% of our inventory every month,
a huge turnover in the secondhand book business, largely because there are different buyers and different types of buyers on each site. Many eBay
customers never visit Amazon and vice versa, so if you target just one site you are missing out on a huge number of potential customers.
For example, we can list thousands of items in a day on eBay when they have their regular 5p or 5 cent listing days. We can help you do the same. On our first ebay listing day we sold £4000 of stock in ten days. That was 25% of the items in our database.
